Why abortion is wrong.

If abortion is murder, then masturbation is genocide.

Bet you're against people who decide to get euthanasia too then?
If it's your body, and your choice, there's nothing wrong with it. I am also strongly against the idea of a woman who's accidently got pregnant, but don't really want a kid, yet refuse to have an abortion.

I kind of agree with OP. I am horrified by the idea of abortions, but I can see the need for them and I think that we should keep them safe and legal. We can make a difference by asking why people need abortions in the first place, through addressing issues like teenage pregnancy and attitudes to contraception.

When news stories of child abuse at the hands of the parents - like baby P - come up, you always get lots of people saying things like "you should need a license to have children". I wonder if they're the same kind of people who think abortion is murder? It's all well and good to spout opinions but at the end of the day it makes no sense from a practical point of view. If anything abortions ought to be encouraged with people who will make bad parents, not demonized...

The main function of sex is pregnancy.

:/

See, I don't think there's such a thing as a " bad" parent. As long as they love that child, and always have, and try to do the best for them, i would class that as a good parent. How they go about it may sometimes not be seen as the "best" way, but at least they try?
And, as for the license thing, it could never happen. What you going to do? Give everyone a test and a robot baby and see if the baby comes back alive after a week? It would never work.
Bottom line is, you can't MAKE people have abortions because you don't think they are going to be good parents, all you can do is keep an eye out for any signs of mistreated unhappy children.
I just think it's the moral thing to do - if you don't want a kid, man up and get rid of the little finger-nail sized egg before it's too late.

Agreed, I was just musing on it! And I meant bad parents in that they do things, whether on purpose or inadvertently, to harm their child. Be it smoking around them, abusing them, neglecting them - sadly too many people are guilty of doing so, and social services could be far better at seeing the warning signs.

It always strikes me in the abortion debate that of all the voices making their opinions, none of them are women who have had abortions.

I've had two. Best decisions of my life. Ask me nicely and I might even give some more details, but I'll be damned if I'm going to try and justify my decisions to some moron on the internet who has no idea what abortion entails emotionally and physically.

(Now, lets see how many pro-lifers neg me!)

Ever thought about those who have been aborted and what they would think about it if they were alive?

So you're saying it's wrong to burn balls?

Sounds like she's brainwashed. I read your posts, I'm not refuting them. I'm just stating that in general, FGM is far more severe than male circumcision, and the arguments that can be made to support male circumcision (which I disagree with) can't be made in the same way for FGM. didn't mean for it all to get into such a big argument. Weren't we talking about abortions somewhere before

Look, I like feminism but don't EVER justify MGM!

So? Before 12 weeks its a bundle of parasitic cells. Not independently alive. The rights of an adult woman come before those of a jelly blobby bundle of cells.

**** off this isn't North Dakota, or republican america for that matter.

Having an abortion is better than bringing at child into life without loving parents or care, or nurturing or good living conditions etc
